At ISE 2026 we speak with Yaroslav Korniyets from Cinegy about what Cinegy offers and what is coming next across broadcast and pro AV workflows.

Yaroslav outlines its software-based approach to ingest, monitoring, playout, and archive, built on in-house codecs and media libraries and deployable on commodity hardware, cloud, or on-prem systems. We discuss upcoming developments including expanded Linux support, cloud-based products as a service, deeper AI integration for subtitles and media archives, and continued work around ST2110. Cinegy also shares its 2026 show schedule, partner certification programmes, and how customer feedback continues to shape future innovation.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Fabio Varolo from FOR-A about the MFR-3100EX and how it delivers routing, switching, streaming, recording, and monitoring within a single hardware platform.

FOR-A outlines how the MFR-3100EX combines a production switcher, router, multiviewer, streaming gateway, and audio management in one 4RU system, supporting NDI, SRT, Dante audio, file playback, and recording for modern live production workflows. The system is also being used as part of the Storm ISE live demonstration, where eight technology partners are connected in a mission-critical setup to receive feeds from across the show floor and rapidly take content to air.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Sergio Alekseev from Cinegy about Cinegy Capture, Multiviewer, and Air, and how they support both broadcast and pro AV workflows.

Sergio discusses how its software-based platform brings scalable ingest, monitoring, and playout to a wide range of environments. Cinegy Capture enables flexible recording across SD, HD, 4K, and higher resolutions, scaling easily through licensing rather than additional hardware. Cinegy Multiviewer provides centralised monitoring for anything from small installations to hundreds of sources, while Cinegy Air delivers reliable playout for broadcast, OTT, and digital signage applications.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Fabio Varolo from FOR-A about viztrick AiDi, an AI-assisted live sports analysis and illustration system designed for real-time production.

Fabio explains how viztrick AiDi uses offline AI to analyse live video feeds without requiring cloud connectivity, allowing operators to calculate player speed, distances, and key moments simply by selecting subjects on screen. Running on a compact server or even a laptop, AiDi is built for portability and fast deployment, supporting live broadcast environments where reliability and low latency matter.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Fabio Varolo from FOR-A and Barbara D’Innocenzo from ClassX about MixBoard and how it rethinks live production through a software-defined approach.

FOR-A introduces MixBoard as a unified production system designed for ease of use and flexibility, supporting video, audio, SDI, and IP workflows including NDI, SRT, and streaming sources. Developed in collaboration with ClassX, MixBoard offers a highly visual, intuitive interface for switching and DVE creation, with support for hardware panels, touchscreen operation, and future-ready formats including 4K and ST 2110. The platform is available now and designed to adapt as live production requirements evolve.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Amy Zhou from Magewell about how the company bridges broadcast and pro AV through flexible input, output, and IP-based technologies.

Amy discusses their role in connecting AV signals and IP streams to a wide range of destinations, from software platforms to display and recording systems. We explore how the company supports both broadcast and pro AV markets with scalable form factors, from compact capture devices to high-density rackmount solutions, and how AV over IP is driving closer integration between broadcast, corporate, and education environments.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Jane Wu from Magewell about the new generation of Pro Convert IP to HDMI decoders and how they extend AV over IP workflows.

Jane introduces the second-generation Pro Convert IP to HDMI, adding support for decoding up to four IP streams into a single output, including multi-view, dual-view, and quad-view layouts, with HDR10 support. The updated design includes enhanced web preview, broader protocol support such as SRT, NDI, RTMP, and ZIXI, plus new LED indicators and audio monitoring output. Designed for compact deployments, the Pro Convert range integrates with Magewell Control Hub.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Anthony Harrison from Calrec about the Argo range, including Argo M and Argo S, and how they support flexible, remote audio production workflows.

Anthony showcases Argo M in 24, 36, and 48 fader configurations, alongside Argo S with scalable fader options up to large-format systems. We discuss how Argo consoles can run as all-in-one surfaces or connect to cloud-based DSP using IMPULSE V, with True Control enabling full remote operation of faders and channel processing. Designed for broadcast, sports, and esports environments, the Argo platform supports distributed production models while maintaining full control and audio quality.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Andy Bellamy from AJA about openGear and the Hi5-4K card, and how the platform enables scalable, centrally managed conversion workflows.

Andy outlines how openGear provides a standardised card and frame format developed by Ross, allowing multiple vendors’ cards to be housed in a single chassis and controlled through one browser-based dashboard. We then look at the Hi5-4K openGear card, delivering SDI to HDMI conversion with HDR metadata pass-through, high card density, and redundant power. Designed for facilities that need reliability and efficient management, openGear supports a wide range of AJA converters and signal processing tools in a compact rack-based system.
